The rapper announced during the BET Hip-Hop Awards his first son will be born in "a couple of days."

"I got a son about to be born any day now, so shout-out to him. Pray for me," the New Orleans native, 26, said during his acceptance speech for lyricist of the year Saturday night. He then reminded the crowd to vote in November.

Lil Wayne also said he is about to release a new version of his album The Carter III. The album was first released in June, but the rapper says he has some new songs for the best-selling album.

The rapper spent the rest of the show hanging out with friends and performing during N.E.R.D.'s "Spazz" and T-Pain's "Can't Believe It" and "Chopped And Screwed."

Lyricist of the year wasn't Lil Wayne's only win either. The rapper, who was nominated for led the ceremony with twelve nominations, also won the People's Champ Award and MVP of the Year over Jay-Z, Kanye West and T.I. He dedicated the award to his daughter Reginae.

The BET Hip-Hop Awards will air Thursday at 8 p.m.

Mr. Blackwell, born Richard Selzer, died at the age of 86 of an intestinal infection. Mr. Blackwell was a fierce fashion critique before "fierce" became an overused catch phrase and no one was off limits.

He slammed Madonna, Britney Spears, Queen Elizabeth and even Marilyn Monroe. Born impoverished and illegitimate in a rough Brooklyn neighborhood in 1922, and only completing school up to the fifth grade, it's safe to say that when faced with adversity, the fashion icon beat the odds.

His annual "worst dresed" list was feared by movie stars, musicians, actors and European royalty. It is his truthful, witty and funny "Worst Dressed" rankings, which began in the 1960s, that helped him become a household name.

As you know, everyone has copped his style, most without nearly as much flare. The onetime actor and model turned to fashion design with limited success, but his commentary was nothing less than noteworthy and catchy.

Mr. Blackwell was very passionate about his work and just so clever. No one can dish it out like he could. For everything he stood for and his gift of good taste and hilarity, he will truly be missed.

Some "Worst Dressed" comments:

Sharon Stone: "An over-the-hill Cruella DeVille."

Barbra Streisand: "She looks like a masculine Bride of Frankenstein."

Britney Spears: "Her bra-topped collection of Madonna rejects are pure fashion overkill."

Queen Elizabeth: "From her majesty to her travesty."

Bjork: "She dances in the dark â€" and dresses there, too."

Madonna: "The Bare-Bottomed Bore of Babylon."

Christina Aguilera: "A dazzling singer who puts good taste through the wardrobe wringer."

Meryl Streep: "She looks like a gypsy abandoned by a caravan."

Lindsay Lohan: "From adorable to deplorable."

Camilla Parker-Bowles: "The Duchess of Dowdy."

LA Times, people

Sarah Palin whored herself out on SNL this Saturday, earning the show its "highest ratings in 14 years. That's 17 million pairs of eyeballs strong during the first half hour, all! :)

What did you think? I enjoyed the opening skit (video above). I didn't watch the news segment (video below), cause my internet connection is slow right now. I'm sure it's hilarious.

Comfortable, romantical, artistic even, and in no way at all was this photo staged. It couldn't be. So, is Speidi the Romeo and Juliet of our time?

The former porn star says she's 12 weeks along, pregnant with twins. No comment.

I wanna know what they're talkin' bout!!!Went down like this:

Prince William spotted Xtina, walked over to her and sat his royal arse down. The two were sitting closely, "flirting" like crazy and they exchanged digits.

Then the infested heiress came up, sitting down unannounced. At that point Prince Harry left the table. He wants to have kids someday, doesn't wanna go sterile. Paris sitting her skank ass down apparently upset Xtina but she didn't wanna go ghetto in front of rotalty. Paris and William also exchanged numbers and were friendly.

Think about it, who did Prince William approach first? The one without the diseases. Paris' wonk also influenced the prince's preference.

The wonk is scary business. You dunno whether you should look directly at it, take a quick glimpse then focus on sumthin else, twitch, tell her to fix it, or try to see if its eyelid moves at the same pace of her normal eye. It's work figuring out what to do when you're talking to someone with a fugged up eye. There's a lot that must be figured out first before any attempts should be made, proceeding only if you're exercising proper precautionary steps and have quick reflex reactions.

Christina's bat boy was also in the club. Poor thing is just like a backdrop, effing scenery when Christina wants to talk to other, more attractive people within the same venues.

Here's Katy Perry falling on her ass like six times after jumping into a cake while on the MTV Latin Awards and being too slippery to stand up. It's pretty funny. I thought she'd fall once and that's it. The crowd is loving it.
I've always wondered what's so inherently funny about someone tripping and falling? It's like some kind of uncontrollable reaction. Strangeness.

Katie Holmes accomplishes quite a breathtaking feat - making herself look as fugly as possible on the opening night of her Broadway show All My Sons.Reviews of Katie's performance are mixed:

â€"Newsday: "She's is earnest and pretty, like a talented girl in a school play."

â€"Chicago Tribune : "You can't take your eyes off her."

â€"The New York Times: "Ms. Holmes delivers most of her lines with meaningful asperity, italicizing every word."

â€"Entertainment Weekly: "After a painfully awkward first scene, she relaxes a bit…"

â€"Daily News: "Holmes, a TV and film vet, makes a fine Broadway debut. Her rather grand speech pattern takes getting used to, but she seems comfortable and adds a fitting glint of glamour."

â€"Variety: "She handles her role … with neither distinction nor embarrassment."

Despite criticism from the American Academy of Pediatrics, Jenny McCarthy says she helped her son, Evan, recover from autism.

The actress - who believes the MMR vaccine was to blame for her son's diagnosis - says a strict no wheat-and-dairy-free diet has changed her son from a quiet little boy who used to flail his arms around to a loving six-year-old.

"Before the vaccination, he was huggy, lovey, snuggly," she says in the newest issue of Us Weekly. "Then it was like someone came down and stole him."

McCarthy, 36, remembers when Evan began to come out of his shell while watching a SpongeBob episode. "I heard Evan laugh...I jumped on the bed and started screaming."

She adds, "When he finally hugged me, I prayed, 'Please God don't let this be the only time.'"

"McCain had come out and said he thinks there's enough evidence between vaccines and autism, so I got on a helicopter [to meet him for] an on-camera interview. By the time I got there, the campaign manager said, 'He's ahead in the polls, and this is too controversial, and he doesn't want to go one way or the next.'"

If Jenny knows things we don't know about autism and how effective a wheat-and-dairy-free diet can actually be, more power to her!! I hope many other parents will have the same dramatic results that she has.

It's kind of freaky that I'm able to report that Jenny Maniston went to John Player's house around 9:30 p.m. last night for a late night bang and sleepover.

Jennifer was reportedly dressed "casually" in jeans with her hair down as she rode in the back of her security detail's car, arriving to John's crib. She was rocking a big overnight bag. This "small gesture" is reportedly a big step in their relationship.

When they dated the first time around John would always go to Jen's house because John has a typical bachelor bad; it needs new paint, it's beat down with overgrown trees and he doesn't have items in the fridge other than "a six-pack of beer."

But none of that matters to Maniston. She will do whatever it takes to hold John's attention. Who knew she never spent the night before? It should be mandatory that both people in a relationship spend time at each other's house, at least to snoop around for nude pics of the skank you're being cheated on with and review issue dates of the STD prescriptions buried underneath clothes in the top dresser drawer's back left corner.
